A device, system and method for generating an alert and an automatic search for a candidate subject is provided. The device monitors one or more data sources to identify a candidate subject. The device determines, from rules for rating candidate subjects stored in a memory, a rating of the candidate subject. When the rating meets a first threshold: the device transmits, to one or more communication devices, an alert identifying the candidate subject. When the rating meets a second threshold, lower than the first threshold: the devices provides, a classifier defining the candidate subject to an object recognition engine to cause the object recognition engine to automatically search for the candidate subject, using the classifier, in multimedia data received at one or more edge devices. The multimedia data may include images.

An image capturing apparatus comprises a plurality of movable image capturing units, a detection unit configured to detect positions of the respective image capturing units, and a generation unit configured to generate video data in which videos obtained by the image capturing units are laid out based on a detection result of the detection unit. The generation unit sets a positional relationship in the video data between at least two videos obtained by at least two image capturing units out of the image capturing units to coincide with a positional relationship between the at least two image capturing units.

A method of exporting video clips is provided, comprising: displaying one or more video streams from at least one security camera; selecting a video clip from a video stream of the one or more video streams, the video clip associated with a time; storing information associated with the video clip in a list of video clips, the information associated with the video clip comprising a default name, the time and a default duration of the video clip and a camera from the at least one security camera that is associated with the video stream from the one or more video streams; displaying the list of video clips; on selection of one or more video clips from the list of video clips, allowing editing of the time and the default duration of the selected one or more video clips; and exporting the selected one or more video clips to a file.

A surveillance system monitors a predetermined environment based on received data. The surveillance system includes a first intelligent appliance configured to capture video and/or still images and configured to be in wireless communication with a second intelligent appliance that operates based on data from the first intelligent appliance. The surveillance system can detect a person located within the predetermined environment and can track the person's movement. The surveillance system is configured to allow remote viewing of data and/or controlling cameras.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on storage devices, for monitoring, security, and surveillance of a property. In one aspect, a system includes a virtual reality headset, a plurality of cameras, a plurality of sensors that includes a first sensor, a control unit, wherein the control unit includes a network interface, a processor, a storage device that includes instructions to perform operations that comprise receiving data from the first sensor that is indicative of an alarm event, determining a location of the first sensor, identifying a set of one or more cameras from the plurality of cameras that are associated with the first sensor, selecting a particular camera from the identified set of one or more cameras; and transmitting one or more instructions to the particular camera that command the particular camera to stream a live video feed to a user interface of the virtual reality headset.

The present invention relates to a system for detecting persons in an area of interest, comprising at least one camera, arranged for generating a stream of images of the area of interest, processing means, for processing the generated stream of images, configured for determining the actual locations of presence of persons in each image of the stream of images, thus generating a stream of actual locations of presence of persons, incorporating the stream of actual locations of persons in a schematic view of the area, thus generating a stream of images comprising a schematic view of the area with actual locations of presence of persons, and display means, for displaying the stream of images comprising a schematic view of the area with actual locations of presence of persons.

Managing cameras and controlling video display, including: identifying a first group of cameras, each camera in the first group having a respective image stream; identifying a second group of cameras, each camera in the second group having a respective image stream, and each camera in the second group is not in the first group; assigning a name to each group; assigning a name to each camera; displaying the name of each group in a user interface on a computer system; displaying the name of each camera in the user interface; receiving a selection of a group through the user interface; displaying the image stream for each camera in the selected group simultaneously; receiving a selection of one camera through the user interface; and displaying the image stream for the selected camera.

An asset is identified in a predefined area. The type of asset is identified through video or wireless tag identification. A security policy associated with the type of asset is obtained. Entries in an asset log are recorded based on a location of the asset, an individual handling the asset, and/or actions taken by an individual with respect to the asset based on the security policy. A real-time notification is sent when the location, the handling, and/or any of the actions warrant a notification based on the security policy.
